Deportations by train were critical in the Nazis' genocidal vision
of the "Final Solution of the Jewish Question." Historians have
estimated that between 1941 and 1944 up to three million Jews were
transported to their deaths in concentration and extermination
camps. In his writings on the "Final Solution," Raul Hilberg
pondered the role of trains: "How can railways be regarded as
anything more than physical equipment that was used, when the time
came, to transport the Jews from various cities to shooting grounds
and gas chambers in Eastern Europe?" This book explores the
question by analyzing the victims' experiences at each stage of
forced relocation: the round-ups and departures from the ghettos,
the captivity in trains, and finally, the arrival at the camps.
Utilizing a variety of published memoirs and unpublished
testimonies, the book argues that victims experienced the train
journeys as mobile chambers, comparable in importance to the more
studied, fixed locations of persecution, such as ghettos and camps.
